So can't it be cleaned up at .040"? No need for a teksid if you're staying n/a.

My new motor is .30 over, you guys are making me nervous now. I have Manley pistons 9.5 to 1 if you want the part numbers I will get them for you.

See post #10. If the best Modular motor builder in the world says it's fine, that's good enough for me.

Stopsign32v · 11-14-2009, 02:48 AM

.030 over is nothing at all to be worried about.

I'm not, will it handle 650RWHP and 20#'s of boost with a Procharger?

A .030" over bore will handle 20lbs of boost without any problems.

ModularSpeed · 11-14-2009, 08:43 AM

For some reason, I think if John would not have posted in here....thi8s thread would be a lot different.....

+1 for .030 being fine....

.040 n/a!

And Then Some !

Fenixfire · 11-14-2009, 02:13 PM

Ya I didnt see any problem shoving 25 lbs of boost from a whipple 2.3 down my block being bored .030 over.....The boost will probly turn out less than that tho because I think Im gonna keep stock compression. That way I can run less boost for the same power and I wont have to spin the whipple so hard.

You want to keep your stock 10:0-1 compression and run a twin screw? Are you prepared to run race gas all the time? And you have it backwards, higher compression means more boost. If your running a blower meant for 8:5-1 compression and you in turn run 10:0-1 compression your boost will be very high.

Scott McClure · 11-14-2009, 02:42 PM

What compression are you running? I guess your not running the stock 10:0-1 compression are you?
